Hey guys :)

Went out to Penrith Whitewater centre (1km from me :D ) for a looksee at the competition on today.

Unfortunately I didn't stay for long due to rain, but the overcast sky made for some good images...

Here's a couple i'd like to share, please feel free to C&C on them, i've not shot this type of sport before, so it's quite new...

exif is all intact, Some cropping was used, as my max. focal length was 120mm :(

Cheers. :)

Good interesting shots I too like the expressions on the faces in 1&2.
You have aroused my interest in the Whitewater Centre thanks.

Great stuff. The Penrith WW centre is great coz you can get really close to the water and get some good action close-ups.

Some good stuff here!

#1 and 2 are fine examples, both showing a good amount of action and expression. Perfect.

i say, very nice action shots!

#1 is my pick though. perfect shutter speed on all, slow enough to show movement, but quick enough to be sharp. nice one.

Nice and sharp, good expressions as well. I think you have captured the sport well.
